Can we add JCheckBox array into JTextArea?

[nancyhung]

I cannot add the JCheckBox array one by one within the JTextArea, but only can add them into the JPanel one by one.

Is it possible to add the JCheckBox array within the JTextArea ??

Thanks !!

Nancy



Code:

..
..
...
rightUpper_left = new JPanel(); //right upper left panel
rightUpper_left.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1));

textArea2 = new JTextArea(22,60);
textArea2.setEditable(false);

image = new JCheckBox[3];

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
image[i] = new JCheckBox(getImageData(i+1) + "" + anno_label);
//textArea2.append(image[i] + "");
//textArea2.append(image[i].toString());
rightUpper_left.add(image[i]);
}

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
CheckBoxHandler handler = new CheckBoxHandler();
image[i].addItemListener(handler);
}

textArea2.setText(getImage());
rightUpper_left.add(new JScrollPane(textArea2,JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLB AR_ALWAYS,JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEED ED));

It may be but probably won't work very well. It is better to add JCheckboxes to a JPanel. Since both the JTextArea and the JCheckBox consume/use MouseEvents there will probably be some confusion about who is use the events.
